The kids are getting cuter everyday. Belle and Weston love to play together and laugh. We have been getting out tones this summer. We have been to the Zoo, Wildwaves, Parks, the  mall. I feel I have to give the babies the  most normal life I can. It is not easy to lug them around but it is worth watching them take it all in. I am working on next years calender it should be out in a few weeks.
For me life is getting back to normal. (as normal as life for a mother of 6. I have started teaching aerobics again. If anyone would like to take my class I am teaching Monday nights at 6:30-7:30 The class is held at Bremerton Skateland 1740 Fuson Rd. I work with a number of levels we have lots of beginners. I plan to add more classes when Lilli goes back to school.
The house is moving along we have a framer coming out on Monday. He says it will be framed in 5 weeks. Thank you to all the people who have helped    us. You know who you all are. My family and I are greatful  for the kindness you have shown us.
        Lots of love,

I thought it would be nice for Lilli to be the only one  in the picture. She is growing so fast.

Take a look at how many people it takes to raise my family. thank you to my volunteers. I was not only blessed with 6 little angels god gave me 42 big angels.Thank you for loving my family. My children and I love you all very, very much.

 Me and Mary

You are incredible!!! Mary you are one of the most selfless people I know. You have been there for me every step of the way. It is hard to believe we were strangers 1 year ago and now you are like a mother to me. thank you for caring not only about my children but about me. You have given me time for myself when I needed it most. I know I can call on you any time of day and you will be there. Thank you for loving us.

My family has one of the craziest lives but I am glad we are living it together. Mike, it is hard to beleive we made it this far. You have always belived I could do this even when I was as big as a house and not able to move. You helped me through the roughest times.  It seems just like yesterday you were 16 and I was 14. I always knew I would share my life with you. I love you and thank you for stepping up and becoming the man I always knew you could be. I love you sweet!!

How amazing are all of you? I could have never imagined god would bless me with such beautiful children.I am thankful for each one of you. I know there is nothing and no where in the world I would rather be then your mother. Life will never be normal for me again but I know I will never regreat it for one day as long as you are all in it with me. Thank you for teaching me about  kindness, grace and most of all love.

 Lilli

my darling I know this has been a long year for you. people often stop to look at the babies and I know this is hard for you to understand but you are equally as special. I looked around at the party and noticed your sad face. It has to be hard being the big sister in the back ground. You are very special to mommy and Daddy. There is nothing like your first baby. You are smart and beautiful on the inside and out. I am proud of the way you have ajusted to our new world. I love you!!

 Weston

My little man you are my way-way. I could have never emagined having such a close bond. you have always needed me to make you feel better. Most of the time I am the only person to calm you. (mabey Rosie too) You love to climb and play with your sister Belle.  Your beautiful blue eyes have melted my heart. I love you!!

 Scarlett

Mark my words scarlett, you will give Daddy and Mommy a hard time later. You are fast and beautiful like your big sister Lilli. When you get excited you stiffen up and shake with joy. Often I catch you pulling or biting your brother and sisters. When I tell you to stop you smile and say "bite" I could not emagine life without you me sweet and sour girl. I love you!!.

 Aniston

Annie, I feel like I have always known you. You understand me when I talk to you. Your grin is so big. Every emotion is seen in your expressions.  You love to eat. I like to call you tiny even though you are the biggest of the 5 babies. You are my shy baby. You get upset around crouds. (unlike Scarlett who loves the attention) Mommy loves you!!!

 Camilee

My small little pixie! You have the most beautiful eye lashes. Cami you are always happy and I cannot stand listening to you cry. You are the most easy going out of the bunch. You love to hide your face and giggle. You are adorable, my little doll. Mommy loves you!!!

  Belle

My belly-bell. You often don't like to stand but you love to talk. You are going to be the one on the phone all of the time. I am amaized at how smart you are. You can put two and three words together. I love your personality. You can be serious one minute and laughing and screaming the next. Mommy loves you belly!!

Happy 1st birthday kids! Your mommy loves you.
